Hi,
Are there any instructions for setting up a network license server?
I installed AFLICS on my server, but how do I add my licenses to it?

Please could someone help or give me advice.
I am using an adaptive mesh for a large sea scene with a mental ray sea as the texture. It works perfectly when the camera is still, but as soon as it starts to move the geometry seems to be altering and waves seem to jump, and is unusable. I have tried using a simple mesh for it and seems to work perfectly, but need to use the adaptive mesh.

I know a couple of studios have investigated and are also currently using this method.

Is there a set way of exporting out cached fume data to a pointlcoud of some sort?

The goal here is to do test renders in Mantra (houdini) or Mental Ray (maya) I'm pretty confident I can get it loaded in fine. I'm just a little hazy on how to be able to export it out of max.


Anyone have any experience?

Is there no Afterburn demo version for 3d max 2011?

I have a new machine, dual 6 core (12 cores) windows 7, nothing that out of the ordinary, and Fume is throwing an -Unknown system exception when simulating? Has anyone ever ran into this? Were still using Fume 1.2e

Hi,

I was wondering if you're looking for more beta testers for Fume 3?

Thanks

Hi there-
This may just be a limit of retimes-but i was wondering if there was anything I could do to improve my retime sim (when rendered)?

Original time scale is 1.3. And this appears to render fine to me.

I then retime by .5. There is a perceived noise or stutter when this is rendered-but just in certain areas-primarily where the effect is hit strongest by light-more shadowed areas pretty much hide the issue.
Both (rt and retimed) renders are motioned blurred to the same degree.
Two other sims in the same scene seem to retime (also at .5) *without* this issue. And all three FX are based on the same basic recipe.
Also what is 'Soucre Area Blur' actually supposed to do? It seems to not be documented specifically. It is not on for this fume box but I wouldn't say I ever observed a difference to if it was on or not...

-thanks

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be possible to access the information in the AGT & AFC files without having to load them in a FFX shader?
I tried to open the binary files with Python, but unfortunately, it doesn't work.

Thanks

Hi, I was wondering how the FFX FumeFX Src works.

on the image attached:
The white FumeFX is a simulated FumeFX smoke.

then I created a other fumeFX Box, with a FFx FumeFx Src. In the FFX FumeFX Src I've added the White FumeFX Box into the src. Then I've simulated the box (Green is with no FFx FumeFX Src) (Blue is with the FumeFX Src). I've set the velocity type to Read, Set value from 10 to 9999 and it doesnt look like it actually interacts with the White FumeFX Box?

thanks,
Eric

Hi, I'm having trouble with installing FumeFX 2.1c AfterBurn 4.0d on 3dsMax2012 SP2 x64.
It seems plugin which installed later does not working.

Installing FumeFX after Afterburn:
3dsMax crashes when rendering FumeFX

Installing Afterburn after FumeFX:
Afterburn particle can be seen, but it doesnt render afterburn particles.

Is this known bug or am I missing something?

OS we are using windowsXP
Thanks
